But this isn’t just about professors; it’s about all of us. This is the most flagrant attack on higher education in my lifetime. Why are politicians reducing public colleges and universities to vehicles of state propaganda? Why are self-proclaimed proponents of free speech turning around and using state repression to enforce speech codes on our campuses? Why can’t we speak openly about our social world in sociology classes? Why are unqualified appointees from the business world dictating to Ph.D.-holding academics how they should teach and which textbooks they must use?

The relinquishing by the Chavista leadership of economic, political and territorial sovereignty and the overall accommodation by nominally “left” governments across the region to Trump’s threats demonstrate that bourgeois nationalism is, without exception, a counter-revolutionary agency of imperialism.

The Persian Gulf is a dominant source of fertilizer. Though the region is best known as a prodigious source of oil and natural gas, its abundance of energy has spurred the development of factories that make the raw materials for many types of fertilizer, especially those that deliver nitrogen.

The price of oil surged higher and showed no signs of halting its rapid climb a week after the U.S. and Israel launched major attacks on Iran that escalated into a war in the Middle East.

Some of the examples in the Wikipedia page don’t make sense to me.

Whenever I want to just shut my brain off and mindlessly play a game, I have this game of 2048 on a 7x7 grid on my phone. I have been playing this same ongoing grid nearly every day, a few minutes at a time, for literally months. Because it is on a much larger grid than the standard 4x4, it takes nearly zero thought/effort and is difficult to actually lose (though definitely not impossible). Recently, I finally achieved a tile valued at 2,097,152. To be clear: you probably shouldn’t be too impressed by this. It really takes no skill to do this, just a lot of time. I thought someone might find this mildly interesting or something.

Once the site of an internment camp for Japanese Americans during World War II, Camp East Montana is made up of six long tents at the Fort Bliss Army base outside of El Paso. On an average day, the facility holds around 3,000 detainees who are living in harsh conditions: They lack sufficient food and often go without proper medical care, according to AP’s review of 130 calls made to 911. Those calls took place in just about five months—from when the tents were quickly constructed in mid-August to January 20.

The base has seen bomber planes arrive from the USA to carry out strikes against Iran

Does the US really want to play this game? 90% of Israel’s water comes from desalination plants, and now we’ve given Iran the justification to strike back in a similar manner.

Indonesia is the latest country to block social media, saying the apps pose “increasingly real threats” to young people.

In a post on X, Araghchi emphasised that the US has set a dangerous precedent by targeting Iran’s infrastructure.

This series of inked drawings went viral on Reddit and while the images are all viewable for free, it led me to compile them all into a book available on Amazon. It’s a love letter to the Toronto transit system and my years riding line 2.

A new Pew Research Center study found 53% of U.S. adults rated Americans’ morals and ethics as “bad,” making the U.S. the only country surveyed where that view prevailed.
